Spanish Video Lesson – Spanish For Your Best Friend
Have You Ever Wanted to Speak Spanish to Your Best Friend?
If your best friend is a Spanish speaker, these phrases will be super useful. If your best friend is not a Spanish speaker, maybe you can give them the desire to be a Spanish speaker by saying these words to them :-). Then you can send them here to our website where they can learn to speak Spanish free! Either way, you can come and practice with us on our Facebook page on Fridays. Actually, you can come any day of the week and there are people there, however, Jake and I make it a point to come to “Facebook Fiesta Friday” every week when we’re available. Every so often, we choose a person a particiapant (in our conversations) and give them free Spanish software worth at least a few tanks of gas (in a compact car).
Here is the vocabulary from the video (come use these phrases on Facebook!):
| You | Tú |
| Hi Pablo | Hola Pablo |
| How have you been? | ¿Cómo has estado? |
| You are my best friend. | Tú eres mi mejor amigo. |
| You are by best friend ever! | ¡Tú eres mi mejor amigo jamás! |
| What do you want to do this weekend? | ¿Qué quieres hacer este fin de semana? |
| How about if…? | ¿Qué tal si…? |
| …we go to the movies? | …vamos al cine? |
| …we go to the basketball game? | …vamos al partido de básquetbol/baloncesto |
| …we go shopping? | …vamos de compras? |
| …we go to lunch? | …vamos a almorzar? |
| Thanks for being such a good friend (to male) | Gracias por ser un amigo tan bueno. |
| Thanks for being such a good friend (to female) | Gracias por ser una amiga tan buena. |
| Question of the week | |
| Do you have one best friend or multiple good friends? | ¿Tienes un mejor amigo o varios amigos? |
So, come share with us on Facebook. Let us know if you have one best friend (“Tengo un mejor amigo”), multiple good friends (“Tengo varios amigos”), or both (los dos). In the sad case that you don’t have friends, you can say “No tengo amigos” – however, remember that all of us on Facebook are your friends!!
